Responding to J. Michael Diehl's post ...
Well, I finally got to look at the responses to my poll. FYI, I got 33 replies. This is a small number considering there are (I think) 400+ people on this list. I didn't take the time to actually tally the results for each question. I'm inherently lazy... ;^) I can make some comments about what we use, tho. Note that the lists are in no particular order. Since this was certainly not a scientific poll, I opted to not include any statistics, sorry. I was kinda hoping to have a more homogeneous environment than what we have. Kinda naive, huh? Well, this is what I have to say after reading each of your replies. I would like to thank everyone who participated in my informal poll. I hope the results are usefull to any software-developer-cypherpunks out there.
{ The rest of the post (documenting results) deleted. } I'm sorry that I didn't answer your poll. However, if I had a little bit more time I would have answered it. Unfortunately, this mailing list is so expansive (and my time is so limited) that I only read my mail about once a week. So I became aware of the poll's closing date (last Thursday, 3/6) the next day (i.e., 4/6). Please give a little more time in future. It was a GREAT idea. Thanks for doing it. Cheers, Peter. P.S. In case you're still interested in accumulating results, I respond to email on Sony News-OS V. 4.3 (analogous to Berkeley 4.1). I also use a lot of MS-DOS PCs (mostly on the Elec. Eng. Novell network, although I might be acquiring a 486 pretty soon). As for PGP, ... well I OFFICIALLY don't have a copy, being not a resident of North America :-) ...
